The
Italian elections of April 18th,
1948 marked an important turning point in the class struggle in
Europe with the defeat of the popular bloc led by the Italian CP and
the victory of the Christian Democrats. Ted Grant analysed the role
played in this defeat by the Church and the Allies, but pointed out
that the imperialists had grabbed the chance to consolidate their
control over Italy only thanks to the betrayal of Togliatti and the
Stalinist leaders.
